Parks staff told the council that staff previously performed these inspections, but the department sought a third‑party provider to ensure consistency. Mark Rizzinski, the city’s purchasing manager, said the solicitation went out twice and SERVPRO was the sole bidder on the second solicitation. He also said the parks department originally requested $20,000 for the project; about two months later the department requested an additional $25,000 to expand the scope, bringing the total to $45,000 and requiring council approval because it exceeded the procurement threshold.

The parks department said the majority of the inspection cost will be assessed to individual trailer owners. The council approved the contract by roll call; the clerk recorded a unanimous vote.

Why it matters: The inspections are for regulatory compliance with EGLE and are intended to document safety and site issues consistently by a third‑party contractor. Because the bulk of the cost is to be assessed to trailer owners, the project creates an owner cost obligation rather than a general fund expense.

Next steps: Purchasing and parks staff will finalize the contract with SERVPRO and schedule inspections. Owners of trailers in TV‑2 will receive assessed fees per the city’s billing procedures.

The council awarded a cooperative contract to Pentura LLC via the Sourcewell contract for $998,886 to build a three‑story, fully accessible playscape at Lapeer Park. Parks Director Sean Fletcher described the design as a custom, multi‑level structure with sensory panels, shade elements and accessible circulation to the highest level. Fletcher said the equipment includes modern safety surfacing and expects the playground to have a useful life measured in decades; construction is expected to be completed by summer 2025.

Council also approved a $90,900 award to Laser Striping and Sports Surfacing to convert an in‑line rink at Ford Woods Park into seven regulation pickleball courts. The parks department noted the site was chosen for existing fencing, lighting, proximity to seasonal restrooms and distance from nearby homes to reduce noise impacts. The finance director was authorized to transfer $100,000 from the facility fund to the general capital improvement fund to cover the project.

Council comments emphasized accessibility and demand. Councilman Al Suwafi said the city previously had zero fully inclusive playgrounds and that adding three across the city ensures families will be within a short drive of inclusive play options. Councilman Perez, who spoke about pickleball demand among seniors, urged consideration of residential proximity to courts when siting future facilities.

Why it matters: The projects expand recreational access and accessibility in Dearborn. The playground is funded in part with Community Development Block Grant funds and the parks department said the three playscapes together represent about $4 million in investment across the city.

Next steps: Purchasing and parks staff will coordinate installation and timeline; Fort Woods courts are scheduled for spring construction and the Lapeer playground for completion by summer 2025.

The grant requires no local match, and the engineering division will prepare plans to meet MDOT contract specifications, the council heard. The mayor was authorized to execute the contract on behalf of the city, and the finance director was authorized to accept the grant when received and recognize the revenue in the city budget.

Why it matters: The funds will pay for pedestrian safety upgrades that the city identified for implementation; the lack of a local match means the upgrades will not require new taxpayer dollars for this project.

State representatives Erin Burns and Alabaz (Alamos) Farhan addressed the council during the public comment period and framed the award as a product of local‑state cooperation. State Representative Erin Burns, House District 15, said the council and mayor showed a strong commitment to making Dearborn friendlier to people who walk and bike and added the upgrades will help the city retain and attract residents. Representative Alabaz Farhan described a separate $6 million appropriation the city received for public safety and public health and credited cooperative relationships in Lansing for increasing that sum during budget negotiations.

Council action: The council approved the MDOT contract and requested immediate effect. The clerk recorded a unanimous roll call for the item.

Next steps: Engineering staff will prepare MDOT‑compliant design plans for raised sidewalks and sidewalk ramps, and the finance director will appropriate the grant revenue once the contract is executed.

The council adopted three ordinances on final reading: an ordinance establishing a formal transition process for newly elected officials (Ordinance No. 24‑18‑35), an amendment to allow indoor recreational uses as a special land use in the city’s IA (light industrial) zoning district (Ordinance No. 24‑18‑36), and an amendment to the nuisance chapter to strengthen dust-control enforcement on paved, partially paved, unpaved and storage lots (Ordinance No. 24‑18‑37). Each ordinance passed on final reading with the clerk recording seven yeas.

The council also approved a mix of grants, contracts and administrative items, including:
- Acceptance of an MDOT grant and contract (Contract No. 24‑5576) for $500,000 for pedestrian‑safety and sidewalk improvements, with no local match required.
- A $998,886 cooperative contract award to Pentura LLC (via Sourcewell) to construct an inclusive playground at Lapeer Park.
- A $90,900 contract award to Laser Striping and Sports Surfacing to convert a rink at Ford Woods Park into seven regulation pickleball courts and a related $100,000 internal transfer to fund the project.
- A single‑source contract award to SERVPRO for up to $45,000 to perform inspections of Camp Dearborn trailers and sites for compliance with Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes and Energy (EGLE) requirements.
- Fleet purchases totaling $592,600 for 11 Department of Public Works vehicles under the State of Michigan cooperative contract.
- Grant acceptances and appropriations including a $20,000 National Endowment for the Arts award for Dearborn Youth Theatre programming, a $12,000 Michigan Arts and Culture Council award for public‑health arts programming, and a $9,487.60 donation to the Dearborn Historical Museum archives from the Floyd L. and Mary Dietrich Haight Charitable Trust.
- Permits and event approvals including the Dearborn Decades 5K (Aug. 3, 2025) and the 99th annual Memorial Day Parade (May 26, 2025). The council also approved several routine appointments to the planning commission and the board of review.

Most items were introduced as resolutions or on final reading by named council sponsors and were handled without extended debate. Where a mover and supporter were recorded, the clerk announced those names and later recorded the unanimous roll call. The consent agenda (Item 9) was adopted on a motion offered by Councilman Mustafa Hamoud and supported by Councilman Enos with seven yeas recorded.

- Ordinance No. 24‑18‑37 (Dust control / storage lots): final reading adopted; roll call 7‑0; sponsors: Councilwoman Herrick and Councilmember Enos.
- MDOT Contract No. 24‑5576 ($500,000) — pedestrian pathway improvements: approved; immediate effect requested; finance director authorized to accept the grant and appropriate revenue; no local match.
- Pentura LLC cooperative contract ($998,886) — Lapeer Park inclusive playground: approved; Sourcewell cooperative purchase authorized.

- NEA grant ($20,000) — Dearborn Youth Theatre programming: accepted and appropriated.
- Michigan Arts and Culture Council grant ($12,000) — public health/arts programming: accepted and appropriated.
- Donations and routine administrative items (museum donation, DDA donation for Coffee Week, lease for dumpster enclosure, event permits, appointments): approved, largely by unanimous vote.

Why this matters: the meeting advanced multiple city capital and community programs, allocated outside grant funding to local projects (without local tax match in the case of the MDOT award), and updated local land‑use and enforcement rules that affect industrial properties and dust control. Those ordinances and capital projects will guide development, public‑space access and enforcement activity in Dearborn.
